Japanese Seto Mingei Ceramic Plate Ishizara Edo Peorid

About the Item

A glazed stoneware Ishizara (food serving platter) from Seto kilns. The platter features an unusual lobed edge and a slight irregular form from hand made. On the plate, a carp and a bamboo branch were highlighted in a green-celadon glaze, with an intentional visual effect of stencil-like, giving it a very folky (Mingei) aethetic. There is a ring of seven spur marks in the center, from the stacking firing in the kiln, and a feldspar left on the surface. This type of platters was likely made in Seto and Mino kilns with various qualities and were meant for daily use. They tend to have a rustic and robust form and a wabi-sabi appeal that came naturally from the kiln process. This particular ishizara is relatively more refined in its form and decoration compared to the other basic ware. The platter shows evidence of extensive use. There are two crack lines from the edge, one larger and one smaller, both were repaired historically with a dark lacquer substance. There are three small, drilled holes around the edge, the purpose of which we are not certain.

Japanese Yoshidaya Saiko Kutani Ceramic Dish
By Yoshidaya
Located in Atlanta, GA
A Japanese Ao-Kutani stoneware dish with overglaze decoration in the shape of barbed quatrefoil shape from late Edo period, circa early mid-19th century. Around 1804, 100 years after Ko-Kutani (old-Kutani) ware disappeared abruptly after thriving from 1655-early 1700s, saiko-kutani (revived-kutani) was attempted by many kilns and several distinguished styles developed. Among them, Yoshidaya kiln attempted to revive the original style of Ko-Kutani known as Aote, which employed four dark colors: green, yellow, dark blue/black and aubergine to create bold and striking design. The Yoshidaya production was short-lived and lasted roughly from 1823-1831. This dish is likely dated from this period or shortly after. The overglaze design centered around a crouching tiger under a black bamboo grove in a deep green background, surrounded by luxuriant banana leaves in green and aubergine with black outlines. The base of a similar concentric barbed quatrefoil design is further decorated with black foliage outlines and marked with a square Fuku mark.
